To celebrate International Women in Engineering Day, hosts Nicola Hume and Tommo McCluskey are joined by Red Bull Academy Programme Manager, Sarah Harrington, and Trackside Controls Engineer for Red Bull Racing, Ainhoa Begiristain.  Sarah and Ainhoa shed light on what it’s like to work behind the scenes in Oracle Red Bull Racing, from the thousands of ways to program a steering wheel to the work done to speed up a drivers’ reaction time at the start of the race. Sarah shares her path to working in the F1 academy, and how she looks to the future, as well as highlighting the unique challenges of scouting. And Ainhoa discusses her role, and how she made it to the control room trackside to be a key part of the race day operation. There are also a bunch of questions from the Paddock, on everything from drivers’ nutrition to the role of AI. And finally, Sarah and Ainhoa share their tips for women wanting to work in motorsport, and they highlight that diversity of background, opinion, and approach is always a strength in the team.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
